While the orthodontist is putting the braces on, it doesn't hurt. It's more like a tightening sensation. It feels like your teeth are being pulled closer together.
They will probably start to hurt a few hours later, when your teeth start moving. To relieve the pain, just take a few painkillers (such as Advil, Motrin,etc.)
It also helps to eat soft foots or cut your food into tiny pieces so you don't have to chew. It might also hurt to brush your teeth for a few days, but just brush lightly.
Don't worry, the pain only lasts for a few days.
Good luck with your braces!
